THE CCtUUNC
DB. C. McLANE'S
: ' ' VV. :. ' ' .' . ;
CELEBRATED
, FOR. THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
PAIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side : the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side ; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility ; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin ; his spirits are low ; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact,( , hc -.distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have,. occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively, deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. . We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled. BXWAstE OF IKITATIOS&
The genuine are never sugar coated,
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane's
Liver Pills.

market being full of imitations of the
name McLane, spelled-differently but

The massacre on Thanksgiving Day passed off
quietly. There was nothing to mar the serenity of

lurid sun sank below the western hills. If the sun
wasn't especially lurid here on account of the rain,
it was certainly lurid to the peenleon the other
side of the clouds. Each wing of the enemy was
overcome, and the breastworks were successfully
stormed. Lotdxvitte Courier-Journal

DEMOCRATIC PACIFIERS.
Proposing a Love Featt of Indiana
and New York Politician to Agree
on a Ticket.
Dispatch to the New York Sun.
Washington, December 1. Mr. Hen
dricks of Indiana, who is here ostensi
bly on private business, is anxiously
looking after his interests for 1880. He
is the would-be great harmonizer. He
thinks that the Indiana and New York
Democratic politicians ought to settle
the question for 1880. In this he is
seconded by more than one self-important
senatorial and representative Con
gressional politician. Their panacea fof
tne evil urougnt upon tne party by the
extra session and other blunders is to
have a love feast of Indiana and New
York politicians and let them agree
upon a ticket that can carry both States.
They say that Tammany is ready and
willing to pursue this course, John
Kelly and his followers will work
harder for a satisfactory ticket in 1880
than they have ever done, if they are
only allowed to dictate it so far as New
York is concerned. As for Tilden and
his friends, the persons who are. mana
ging this love feast say that they must
not be ignored, of course; but still they
must not be allowed to drive Tammany
out of the paity. When it is suggested
that it may possibly happen that the
country Democracy of New York will
refuse to have anything to do wfth
Tammany, the reply is that they won't
carry their feelings so far as to destroy
the last hope for 1880.
There does not seem to be any settled
purpose on the part of the Democratic
leaders of the House and Senate as to
the policy of the present session. They
are evidently at sea. The only thing
I they seem to agree on is that they have
got tne party in a Dad fax, and some
thing must be done to get it out.
Senator Gordorfhas been interviewed
on the political situation. He says that
he has come here determined to do
everything in his power to prevent an
other sectional debate and exert all his
influence to prevent Southern Congress
men from replying to the taunts of the,
Northern politicians in Congress, lie
regards the Northern people a$ gener
ous, brave, and true, and her believes
that they generally regard the South
erners in the same light. He believes
in local self-government, and lie feels
confident that the Northern people be
lieve in the same thing. He thinks,
however, that the present is n 6 time to
discuss State rights, .because tha ?foUtU
cians use such discussions to revive the
dead and buried issues of secession. A
cessation of all sectional debate is, in
his opinion, the only thing that will
lead to the restoration of harmony be
tween the sections.

CURRENT TOPICS at WASHINGTON
Among the Senators absent the first
day were Messrs. Withers, Hill of
Georgia, Hansom, Vance, Lamar, But
ler, Hampton and Blaine.
The party who had the President's
message Saturday night sold it to a syn
dicate for 81,500, and it is said $2,000
profit was realized by the iarties who
made the purchase.
Col. Cameron, the mayor of Peters
burg, and the right-hand man of Gen.
Mahone, is in Washington on a brief
visit. He says there is no doubt what
ever of Gen. Mahone's election to the
Senate.
Two colored members of the Virginia
Legislature, who were in Washington
Monday, made calls upon the President
and upon Postmaster General Key. The
President impressed upon them the ne
cessity of the Republicans in the Leg
islature standing firmly together on all
subjects.
Of course this will be, as everybody
says, a political session, and congress
men will devote themselves to making
a President LTp to Christmas the indi
cations now are that it will be quiet,
but the Republicans are on the alert,
eager to spring any question that will
help them and hurt the Democrats.
The Bayard men call attention to the
fact that several of Mr. Randall's con
gressional friends, when recently in
terviewed, expressed the belief that
the distinguished Senator f from Dela
ware cannot carry New- York, and
draw the inference that the Speaker of
the House and his friends are against
bis nomination. Iir spite of this the
Bayard men claim than their favorite
is gaiiiing strength daily In Pennsylva
nia as well as elsewhere. The advo
cates of Mr. Seymour are conciliatory,
and have at every turn to deny the re
port Cmtt he will not accept. No one
sdyg anything unkind of him, and all
concede that if he will run he can carry
New York.

When a noble deed Is performed, a great battle fought, an important assembly convened, thenceforth the place of their occurrence becomes fa
mous. Tha same result follows whenever a great enterprise is originated or carried on. This holds true In commercial experiences; certain portions
